Rainbow Six Siege 2: Ubisoft to Enhance Graphics in Upcoming Sequel

A leak from an insider, "fraxiswinning," suggests Ubisoft will unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 at the Six Invitational 2025, scheduled for February 14-16 at the MGM Music Hall. The purported project, codenamed "Siege X," reportedly utilizes a revamped engine boasting enhanced graphics, including overhauled textures and models.

This insider claims that past temporary events from the original game may not return, with Ubisoft allegedly focusing on entirely new event content. A projected release date is mid-2025, aligning with the second season of the game's tenth year of support.

This contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously stated a sequel wasn't necessary due to the ongoing development of the current game. However, this leak suggests a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.

It's crucial to approach this information cautiously. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all details remain speculative.

The upcoming Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is generating significant buzz. Twenty teams will compete in Boston for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the championship title. Oxygen Esports, winners of the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.

This twenty-team competition presents a unique structure. While Ubisoft might retain a similar format to last year—four round-robin groups of five teams, followed by a double-elimination playoff—alternative formats remain a possibility. The anticipated playoff structure involves a first-place bye, fourth-place entry into the lower bracket, remaining teams entering the upper bracket, and the elimination of each group's last-place finisher.
